Healthy Sides

The harvest is rolling in now, folks. It’s the very best time of year to get fresh everything and I’m feeling overwhelmed with choice! I picked up 2 huge heads of cauliflower last week for $4. Because $4! I made 4 cauliflower and cheese quiches (2 went straight into the freezer) and these little…

Thank goodness for partners. Dara has really stepped up her game over the last couple months and has picked up my blog slack. It’s been a crazy but wonderful time.

Also, the squash is still rolling in weekly with my produce box delivery, so I’ve been needing to get creative all up in here. This isn’t totally brand new, though. This recipe was inspired by another recent spaghetti…
